La-5FN victories over Stukas over Eastern Hungary
On 17 Nov. 1944, several Stukas were downed or damaged in air combat with La-5FNs reportedly of 5th VA, 279th IAD, nearby Szolnok, Eastern Hungary.
Does anyone know who claimed these Stukas and the circumstances? Thanks,

Re: La-5FN victories over Stukas over Eastern Hungary
Thanks, Nikita, for the info.
The records must be incomplete, as several Stukas were shot down on the 17th of November, and the survivors mentioned La-5s as the attackers. Is there anywhere else I can ask for this info? Thanks,

Re: La-5FN victories over Stukas over Eastern Hungary
Denes,
Antatolis Fedorovich Mukhin (177 GIAP) shot down a Ju-87 on the 16th as Nikita mentioned. I've seen at least 2 incidents were the dates of German and Russian incidents were reported as different dates but the times and descriptions were about the same. Mukhin's claim was S.W. of Yaksoroksallash. I also saw that Igor Dmitrevich Uskov (122 IAP) shot down a Bf-109 on the 17th at Yasaroksalmash (same place?). Also maybe the victors also became victims and no report. |
